Hi,
Some of my roses have been infected with thrips - you can see the
effects on the lightly colored ones, esp. the white ones.
One in particular keeps on getting a bad case of rust.
Its currently winter now in Melbourne Australia.
Apart from the usual measure -
1. clear out dead leaves
2. Pruning
3. Spraying area with lime.
What other things can I do. And what effective sprays do some people
use to deal with thrips?
Thanks.
good link. thanks
